Hi Rebel,
If I decided to just use the Jehovah's Witnesses meetings as Christian association, but I did not want to read , handle, or distribute the literature produced by the Watch Tower Printing Corporation, what would my interest be? And what would I have in common with the other people there? What would they have that would interest me. What could I share with them?
All the activity revolves around the printing corporation and the literature, or the real estate owned and being acquired by the printing corporation.
Or did I miss something?

the books are all written about the writers of the books and how all prophecy and all history relates to them.. .

A congress is an assembly.
Apparently the Witnesses were trying to have an assembly, convention, and it was interfered with.

Is it all about the disfellowshipping?
by Jayson ini was told in my last fight with the jw's that if it was not for the act of disfellowshipping i would not have a problem with them.
i don't think that's true.
is that true for you?

Hi Jayson, It was the shunning and the snubbing that angered me and made me do my research. I owe them thanks for that.

Hi Annie, Oh that's a good one! Thanks! It seems like the worse they get, the more people want to work for them for free.

You might think that I need help that I have been brain washed.
by garybuss inthis was in my e-mail this morning.
******the reason why you left the truth, the truth and not the "truth" like you people believe, is because you have no humility and no love.
when people like you commit something wrong and get disfellowship you can't say to yourself "i was wrong, i messed up, me and only me," you can't say that because is much easier to go around blaming others for your own mistakes.

Siddhashunyata, Thanks for that story. Your experience matches mine exactly. The most rigid Witnesses I have ever met were the castaways or believing walkaways. They were lost, and now they are lost and alone . . . .
ESTEE, The psychology of perception . . . . We need to discuss it sometime. Thanks, I am a fan of your posts.The Way I See it http://www.freeminds.org/buss/buss.htm

I read some of the Watch Tower Corporation defense statements. It looks to me like they have a breach of confidentiality issue when the elders disclose confidential information to the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation.
The Corporation aka, the Society, claims they do not disclose confidential information to secular entities by right or legal/ethical duty of the protection of confidential information by a qualified member of the clergy. So, when the elder discloses that same confidential information to the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation, if in fact the Corporations are separate from the Congregations, the elder has breached that confidential information protection duty.
If the elders disclose confidential information to the secular business that prints their books, it seems to me they have either:
1. Unquestionably established a continuous link from the elders to the Printing Corporations, or;
2. They have breached their fiduciary responsibility and disclosed confidential information to a third party.
I fail to see how either scenario is in the best interest of the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation or their trademark religion franchise, Jehovah's Witnesses. It seems to me that they should quit all the religious tribunal courts and trials and confessions and secret meetings and just be a deity worshiping church without all the cloak and dagger secret society stuff.

They must be:-) By my mail, they have a lot of both to spin away. My guess is the media will be the King Of The North for the next year . . . .

real Jehovahs Witnesses would never act that way
by garybuss inthis is a e-mail i got from a reader of my story on the freeminds.org site.
i read the story you typed about the woman with the small children at the jehovahs witness meeting, i don't mean to make you angry, but i don't believe that you were at a real jehovahs witness meeting ,because real jehovahs witnesses would never act that way that you described about the witnesses totaling ignoring that woman.
jehovahs witnesses do not ignore anyone.

Jehovahs Witnesses do not ignore anyone. And they certainly don't ignore people at their meetings either. So, e-mail me back if you want to.
"Real Jehovah's Witnesses" would never shun a disfellowshipped person???? Comments anybody?
Another hard day at work for apostate central:-)
